I was a prince in ancient times

Lu Chengjie finally passed out on the carriage.

Without the aid of the medicine, he could barely last three or four times, and finally he had no more strength, and fell asleep on Xie Anlan's lap.

All the clothes on his body were torn to pieces by Xie Anlan, and the spots on the looming skin were all traces left by Xie Anlan. When he was sleeping soundly on Xie Anlan, his whole body curled up into a ball, and even his brows were frowning. Yes, it looks terribly distressing.

Xie Anlan vented, the unknown fire in her heart finally vented out, and the anger disappeared. Looking at the person in her arms who was tossed so badly by herself, her heart suffocated, she took out the ointment, bit by bit, gently He takes medicine.

After applying the medicine, he took off his coat, wrapped him tightly, and carried him out of the carriage.

It was getting late at this moment, and there was silence in front of the Prince Chen's Mansion. Many guards were not far from the carriage, besieged the city, surrounded the carriage, and left an open space for them.

Lu Chuyi, who was driving the car, and Gao De, the guard, had long since disappeared.

Xie Anlan carried him back to the dormitory, settled it, found a coat and put it on, and went to the study.

"Shadow, tell me what happened to the princess these days."

Xie Anlan sat at the head of the study, took a brush in his hand, turned it unconsciously, and said to the air with a calm expression.

"Yes."

Not long after, a person with a very weak sense of existence appeared from nowhere and knelt down in front of Xie Anlan.

At this moment, there are only two lamps burning in the study room. This person is kneeling under the shadow of the lamps. If you don't pay attention, you won't notice his existence.

"August [-]th, the princess was invited to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. During the banquet, the wives of Mr. Zhang, Wang, Liu, and Chen repeatedly mentioned the matter of their heirs to the princess. The princess didn't respond, and then several princesses came forward. Talk to the concubine about the concubine and heirs, and the concubine threw her sleeves and left the table."

"Chongyang on the ninth day of September, several concubines held a banquet at the Donglai Pavilion, and many old concubines, Madam Hou, were invited to come. It was originally a happy time, but during the banquet, the old concubine Duan talked about her children intentionally or unintentionally. He said that the heirs of the current royal family are weak. From His Majesty to the princess, he also said that the princess should be magnanimous as a man, and she should take the initiative to consider for the prince. The third concubine couldn't stand it, and cursed, you all think that the royal men are pigs, even a sow wants to go, and the wives were speechless, and the banquet broke up unhappy."

"From now on, the princess no longer participates in any banquets, but..." Shadow paused at this point, "But every time the princess goes out, she can always meet all kinds of young women. Tea shops and wine shops are always available wherever the princess goes. There will be people everywhere."

"There are even...some people brazenly mentioned to the princess that in fact, the princess can also leave an heir."

Xie Anlan couldn't help frowning as Shadow repeated the following.

Lu Chengjie never told him about these things, and he was in good condition before, and he didn't seem to care.

When exactly did it start?

The writing brush in Xie Anlan's hands paused, and she suddenly thought that it seemed that something had started to go wrong since the day the princess came.

"After returning from the last palace banquet, did the concubine tell someone to go to the Hou's mansion?" Xie Anlan asked again thinking of this.

The shadow who was still repeating below paused, and then quickly replied, "Yes."

"What happened at the banquet that day?" Xie Anlan suddenly understood.

But the shadow didn't answer any more, he knew everything about the outside of the palace, but the inside of the palace was not something that shadow guards like him could enter.

"Go down." Xie Anlan got the information she wanted, retreated from the shadow, sat alone in the study for a while, and then returned to the bedroom.

Perhaps it was because of Xie Anlan's anger this time that Lu Chengjiao had a high fever in the middle of the night, and it was so fierce that he was given a lot of antipyretics, and he didn't get better until dawn.

Xie Anlan hugged him all night without closing his eyes, until the fever subsided, and then told Lu Chuyi and Qiutang, "Take care of the princess, I will go to the palace."

After Xie Anlan washed up a bit, she entered the palace exhausted.

Xie Cangming had just come to the court, yesterday the Chenwang couple had a big scene in his tea shop, the people below had already reported to him when they saw that the situation was not right, now seeing Xie Anlan, no matter how serious the emperor is, he couldn't help but joke, "I can play."

"What can you play?" Xie Anlan couldn't help being curious when he heard his muttering.

A hint of envy flashed in Xie Cangming's eyes, but he suppressed it quickly, and regained his emperor's appearance, and said in a flat voice, "Seventh brother is not at home to accompany the princess, why come to my Jinghua Palace?"

Xie Anlan always has something to talk about, "I want to know what happened to my princess in the palace on the day of the palace banquet."

Xie Cangming raised his eyebrows, he understood, he summoned a servant and gave him a few orders.

Not long after, the servant brought a shadow guard dressed in black.

After saluting Xie Cangming and Xie Anlan, he calmly recounted in a hoarse voice what Xie Anlan didn't know that day.

Xie Anlan listened calmly, with no expression on her face.

On the contrary, Xie Cangming's face darkened, and his thin lips sarcastically said, "It's because I usually let these ministers have too much time, and they don't care about the government, and they want to change their careers to be matchmakers."

"Brother Huang can keep them busy." Xie Anlan never intervened in the court before, but today he interrupted for the first time.

Xie Cangming leaned back on the dragon chair, without any obvious expression on his face, he hummed lightly.

"Then please leave it to Brother Huang." Xie Cangming was willing to help, Xie Anlan would save a lot of trouble, and felt relieved at the moment.

"It doesn't matter." Xie Cangming didn't take it seriously. Anyway, he didn't like this kind of ministers who put their family thoughts in other people's back houses. A few years ago, because of the thinness of the harem, they had just rectified a group, and now they have returned to their old ways. It's time to deepen their memory.

"Husband and wife quarreled at the end of the bed, if the seventh brother is okay, he should go back earlier." Seeing that Xie Anlan had no intention of leaving, Xie Cangming took the initiative to issue an order to evict the guest.

"and also."

Xie Anlan didn't get up, but said again, "And I see those two princesses, who have been upset for a long time, when will you be able to solve it, Brother Huang?"

If it wasn't for the appearance of these two people, who gave Lu Chengjiao a sense of crisis, how could he be like this.

Xie Anlan has always been small-minded.

"We still have to wait." Xie Cangming frowned, internal matters were easy to resolve, but matters involving countries were not so easy.

Xie Anlan was slightly displeased, "Brother Huang please hurry up."

Xie Cangming pursed his lips, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes.

When Xie Anlan came out of the palace, the sun was already high. The weather in the imperial capital was getting colder day by day, but the sun was getting brighter day by day, but it didn't feel warm on people.

"My lord." As soon as Xie Anlan left the palace, Gao De came over.

Seeing his happy face, Xie Anlan made a good guess, "But Liuliyao has made a new discovery."

"Yeah." The gate of the palace is not a place to talk, Gao De responded and hid the rest of his words.

Xie Anlan also showed joy, and stepped into the carriage, "Let's go and have a look."

A mere Liuli is not worthy of Xie Anlan's happiness. What can really make him happy is of course something else.

The carriage drove all the way out of the imperial capital city and stopped in front of a busy kiln factory. Xie Anlan got off the carriage and entered the kiln factory, but did not go to the place where colored glaze was fired, but turned around and went to On a hillside against which the Liuli Kiln was backed, he found an inconspicuous cave along the hillside and drilled in.

In an instant, it was like entering a hot summer from severe winter.

Apparently, the inner wall of this mountain has been hollowed out, leaving a mountain shell. Inside, there are nearly a hundred people busy in front of one blast furnace after another. Everyone has their upper body naked, showing their waists that have been scorched by the fire. , his face was covered with sweat stains, and Xie Anlan couldn't help frowning due to the scorching heat and the smell of charcoal.

Fortunately, Wu Jun, the person in charge here, saw Xie Anlan sharp-eyed, and hurriedly led him to a relatively clean hut far away from the blast furnace.

"My lord." Wu Jun wiped a simple stool vigorously with his sleeve, wishing to make it shiny.

"Okay." Although Xie Anlan loves to be clean, but when he came to this kind of place, he didn't think about being particular about it, and it was almost enough.

"Hey, okay." Wu Jun nodded and bowed, and welcomed Xie Anlan onto the bench.

"Bring the things." Xie Anlan nodded and rubbed his drowsy forehead.

I have consumed too much energy from yesterday to now, and now I am in such a warm place, it is easy to feel drowsy.

Without further ado, Wu Jun went down and brought up what Xie Anlan wanted.

There were two boxes in total. After Xie Anlan looked at them, she was very satisfied. She nodded and asked Gao De to take one of them. Looking at the other box, she said to Wu Jun, "The remaining box is sent to the palace."

After thinking about it, he said, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. In the past few months, everyone has worked hard to catch up with work and strive to complete this batch of goods before the year."

"Yes, yes." The person in charge nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xie Anlan patted the person in charge on the shoulder after speaking, and was so moved that he forgot to ask the prince for a reward.

"Since I have initially met my requirements, next, I have to..." Xie Anlan didn't have so much time to greet him, and mentioned his follow-up thoughts to Wu Jun.

After hearing this, Wu Jun frowned, "My lord, we can do it, but we don't have enough materials."

"There will be a steady stream of materials after the next year." Xie Anlan calculated the time in his mind and said.

"That's no problem." Wu Jun nodded.

After coming out of the glazed kiln, it was almost afternoon, and my body was filled with the smell of sweat and coal.

Xie Anlan returned to the mansion, went to take a bath first, and then let Gao De take the box and went into the bedroom to find Lu Chengjiao.

At this moment, Lu Chengjie was already awake, sitting on the bed and reading a book.

"Your Highness..." Seeing Xie Anlan, Lu Chengjiao looked slightly embarrassed.

"Don't call him Your Highness in the future." Xie Anlan said to herself as if she didn't notice his embarrassment.

Lu Chengji Weizheng.

"Just call me by my first name." Xie Anlan touched his forehead and said softly, "Privately, I'm not a prince or a princess, so don't be burdened by this status in the future, okay?"

"An Lan?" Lu Chengjiao nodded, trying to call out always felt a little weird.

"It sounds good." Xie Anlan found that his fever had completely subsided, stroked the top of his head, and said with a smile.

"Let's call him Your Highness outside." Lu Chengke quickly lowered his head, "It's my own thoughts, and I won't have that kind of thoughts in the future."

"That kind of thought?" Xie Anlan raised her eyebrows.

"I want a child..." Lu Chengjia felt dazed when he said it.

In fact, he didn't have such thoughts at the beginning, and he didn't know when people kept talking to him about the continuation of the blood and the succession of the family. It seemed that Xie Anlan didn't have a child. sand.

Gradually, this kind of thinking affected him a little.

Especially when Princess Heqin came and named her to marry Xie Anlan by name.

At that time, there were countless voices in his mind telling himself that it was because you were selfish and refused to give Xie Anlan a side concubine, which caused everyone to covet this position. It is better to give up this position to other countries than to give it to the women of their own country, at least you can choose the one you like.

He just thought of Fu Yunwan, and felt that she had half of his own blood, and if she had a child with His Highness, it would be considered a child between him and His Highness.

Now that I think about it, that idea is downright stupid.

How could he have such a terrible idea.

Lu Chengjia almost buried his head in the quilt.

Thinking that he almost pushed Xie Anlan further away from him, he was suffocating.

"I don't blame you." Xie Anlan was already angry, and she looked away from this meeting.

Seriously speaking, he actually didn't notice this problem.

In this dynasty where the succession of the family is greater than the sky, for a combination like the two of them, the issue of offspring must be considered.

In the past, no one said that it was because he was powerless, even a little useless, and no one paid attention to him, but now he has power and power, and he is still a prince under one man and above ten thousand people, how could he not have calculations? .

Well, if you experience it this time, you can avoid it next time.

Lu Chengjie was about to raise his head in shame, and apologize seriously, but when he heard Xie Anlan's next words, he blushed immediately.

"How could I let other people have children." Xie Anlan smiled lightly, "After all, my children and grandchildren will be left to you..."

Xie Anlan paused for a moment, his gaze swept over Lu Chengjie's lips, "Enjoy it."

"It's not enough to fill you up, how can there be leftovers for others..." Xie Anlan said while admiring the top of Lu Chengjie's head that was about to smoke, feeling very interesting.

"Does it still hurt?" Xie Anlan teased him for a while, then stopped, and asked instead.

Lu Chengjie shook his head.

"Can you get up?" Xie Anlan tried to ask.

Lu Chengjie turned over and got off the bed, and tried to take two steps, but there was nothing but a little discomfort.

"Come here, I'll give you something." Xie Anlan beckoned, and Lu Chengjie sat in Xie Anlan's arms by himself.

"What?" Lu Chengjia was curious.

Xie Anlan snapped his fingers and asked Gao De to bring the things in.

Gao De came in with a three-foot-long box, and respectfully presented it to Lu Chengjiao.

Lu Chengjie thought it was a secondary painting and didn't care, but when he opened the box, a long sword gleaming with cold light was quietly sugared inside.

Lu Chengjie glanced at it, but couldn't look away, "This is..."

"Give it to me?" Lu Chengjiao was very puzzled.

Just looking at the cold light on the sword body, he also knew that this was definitely not an ordinary sword.

Such a sword should be treasured, or used to kill enemies on the battlefield, what should I give it to him?

"I'll send you to kill all the talkative people in the world." Xie Anlan looked at Lu Chengjiao's shoulder, and a cold voice sounded in his ear, "If someone chews those ears for you again, just wipe his neck .”

"How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer." Lu Chengjia looked at the sword in the box, and his mind shrank, "Just give me an ordinary sword. Your Highness, please put this sword away."

"The sword?" Xie Anlan smiled lowly, and said in a misty tone, "In a few days, I'm afraid it will be a rotten item on the street. Take it, don't feel bad, there are plenty of broken ones."

Xie Anlan twisted a piece of Lu Chengjiao's black silk with her fingers, and said proudly.

Lu Chengjiao paused slightly, licked the corner of his lips, and seemed to realize something, "Your Highness made this out of ordinary iron?"

Xie Anlan hummed, "This sword can no longer be called an iron sword, it is steel smelted from iron."

"Steel?" Lu Chengjia felt a little unfamiliar with this new term.

"This sword is made of pure steel. It is not easy to rust, and it is also sharper than an iron knife. It can easily seal the throat with one sword. Do you want to try it?" Xie Anlan said, pulling the black hair that was just wrapped around her finger Get to the edge.

With just a slight touch, the black hair in his hand broke in two.

Although Gao De had seen the sharp edge of this sword once in the mountain wall, he couldn't help but be shocked again when he saw it again.

Hearing Xie Anlan's words, Lu Chengjiao no longer struggled. He held the cold hilt in the sword box, lifted it slightly, and raised his eyebrows, "It's lighter than an iron sword."

"Try dancing."

Xie Anlan still remembered the astonishment he had brought to him when he first met Lu Chengjiao with a dead tree branch.

At that time, he wanted to give him a sword, and wanted to see if he could be more amazing when he danced the sword.

Lu Chengjiao smiled, and walked out of the dormitory with his sword in hand. Looking at the completely changed courtyard in front of him, he slightly raised his eyebrows.

Slowly closed his eyes.

I still remember that when he was gesturing here a year ago, there were dead branches and fallen leaves all over the ground, but now it is full of vitality everywhere.

The same cold winter, the same place, the same people, it seems that nothing has changed, but everything has changed.

Maybe he should also bloom himself like this green garden.

The sword moves according to the heart, the tip of the sword suddenly appears cold, a flower, the blade of the sword walks with people, shuttles between this square inch, wherever it goes, there are sword shadows left everywhere, the blade is sharp, every move All the styles seem to open up the world.

Xie Anlan looked at it, not only fascinated.

Lu Chengjiao holding a sword is completely different from Lu Chengjia holding a branch.

One is startling and graceful, and the other is fierce and unrestrained.

No matter which one, Xie Anlan was obsessed with it.

After finishing the sword strike, Lu Chengjiao panted slightly, put away the sword, and there was joy between his brows.

He raised his hand at Xie Anlan, "Would you like to try dancing a sword, Your Highness?"

Xie Anlan shook her head slightly, "I won't."

"I'll take you." Lu Chengjie put the sword in Xie Anlan's hand, pressed his chest against his back, and pressed his palm against the back of his hand. The two walked in unison, and the movements of their hands were also in unison.

Although it was very slow, but for a moment, the two seemed to merge into one.

While the two were spending tender time at home, the weather in the imperial capital became very subtle.

It is clear that winter has not yet entered, and there will still be sun in the morning, but people seem to live in a dark cloud in their hearts, making them breathless.

For several days, the emperor went up to court with a cold sword in his hand, and took it up from time to time to observe it.

The courtiers who were closer could even feel the chill and sword glow.

There is no doubt that this sword is extremely sharp, not to mention that it can kill half of one's life if it falls on a human body.

The abnormal behavior of the emperor sent a chill down the spine of all the ministers.

I especially remember that five years ago, when the emperor first ascended the throne, he went up to court with an iron sword in his hand. On that day, the heads of a dozen corrupt officials fell outside Jinghua Palace.

Now the emperor raised his sword to the court again, and he didn't know whose head the sword would fall on.

These few days, the ministers went to the court with fear, as if they were walking on thin ice. After the court, they did not dare to take it lightly. Compared with usual, they did their best.

Even so, morning and morning, or not stop.

"Strictly, 3000 taels of silver were embezzled and bribed. The evidence is conclusive. The family property will be confiscated, and the position will never be accepted."

After a notification, a sixth-rank official was dragged out by the guards.

"again!"

The hearts of the courtiers shivered, and they felt a chill all over their bodies.

In the court these days, the emperor would confiscate the property of a courtier every day, and then dismissed him.

Although the dismissed courtiers were all minor officials of the fifth or sixth rank, and not very popular.

But one every day is enough to make them panic.

Now it is just to investigate some small officials. Who knows when His Majesty will start to investigate upwards. If you corrupt a few thousand taels, you will be dismissed. If you corrupt a larger amount, will you be wiped out?

Thinking of the scene of Jinghua Palace being stained with blood when His Majesty ascended the throne, they all feared and worked hard every day, lest they offend His Majesty.

Facing down, Xie Cangming stood up with a normal expression, and said casually as usual, "I hope you can be self-restraint, serve the public, and be loyal to your duties."

After finishing speaking, he didn't get up and leave. Instead, he raised the sword, waved it in front of the case, and said again, "Instead of focusing on studying heresy ways."

After he finished speaking, his eyes paused meaningfully for a moment on the ministers in front of him, and then he slowly stepped back with his sword in hand.

These adults were so frightened that they were sweating coldly, their legs went limp, they were supported by their subordinates behind them, and they were thinking in their hearts where they had offended His Majesty.

Fu suddenly thought that before His Majesty started killing five years ago, it seemed that someone proposed to expand the harem. His Majesty didn't stop until no one was talking about it. What His Majesty said at that time was the same as today!

Of course, he was really confused with the late Emperor, who raised many corrupt people who did not listen to His Majesty's instructions, and His Majesty acted in anger, but His Majesty may not have no selfish intentions.

Reminiscent of what they had done recently, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and each fell down with lingering fear.

Once Xie Cangming settled down, the government and the general public were dedicated to their duties, and no one dared to have another heart.

Lu Chengjie's side was also completely quiet, even if there were one or two ignorant people whispering in his ear, he directly drew his sword to face each other.

The sword in his hand was exactly the same as the one in the emperor's hand. Everyone was scared out of their wits and dared to mention those words.

After a long time, everyone in the imperial capital knew that Princess Chen had the Tianzi Sword in her hand, and they could cut it first and then play it.

Those who want to provoke Princess Chen must first weigh the weight of Tian Zi's sword.

That is the sword of the Son of Heaven, which can behead common people at the bottom, and the princes and generals at the top. Whoever rushes to it.

Those concubines and wives who used to chew their tongues in Lu Chengke's ears now hide when they see Lu Chengke, for fear that he will wantonly seek revenge.

Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjiao's ears were finally quiet.

The two made an appointment with several behind-the-scenes bosses who opened the bank to discuss important matters at Wutong Tea Shop.

Before anyone came, Xie Anlan teased Lu Chengji to eat a piece of plum cake.

"Sweet or not." Xie Anlan only allowed him to take a small bite, but he couldn't taste it at all.

But Lu Chengjie still replied, "Sweet."

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the two of them, and saw Lu Chengjiao sitting on Xie Anlan's lap, biting a piece of pastry mouth to mouth, his face flushed with admiration, and he hesitated, "Brother Wangfei, I am Didn't it bother you?"

Without even looking at her, Lu Chengjie bit off the plum cake that Xie Anlan was holding on his lips, and finally licked the cake sticking to it, and said indifferently, "No."
